Additionally, as these positions are unique to this program, should the funding be dissolved, the positions would be eliminated and would not effect any staff. BACKGROUND: The Health Services Department is requesting to Establish 4 classifications for the Mental Health Division; Cancel a vacant Mental Health Counselor I Project position, and Add one Mental Health Vocational Counselor I position. In July 2004, project classifications were establish to provide vocational services to mental health clients as a collaborative project between the Mental Health Division, the State Department of. Rehabilitation, and Mental Health Consumer Concerns. Health Services has determined that vocational services are an integral service provided by the Mental Health Division and funding from the State Department of Rehabilitation is anticipated to continue+. An additional project classification called Dual Diagnosis Program Specialist was established to provide services to clients with both substance abuse and mental health troubles. However, due to budget reductions, these positions were reassigned to vocational services to assist with providing vocational services to dual diagnosis clients. Overall, the Mental Health Vocational Counselor I, Mental Health Vocational Counselor II and Mental Health Vocational Services Coordinator is responsible for assisting mental health consumers in obtaining and retaining employment and career advancement leading to self-sufficiency, coordinating vocational services and reporting client data to the Department of Rehabilitation. The Dual Diagnosis Program Specialist is responsible for assisting in the treatment, counseling, case management, outreach and program support services of chemically dependent or substance abusing mentally disabled clients. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The ability to provide vocational support for mental health clients directly corresponds to the BOARD ORDER page3 P300#20190 ability to successfully support clients in the community and prevent the need for long-term institutional care. Failure to provide these integral services would increase overall treatment costs.
